Description:
------------
Left-to-right order of operations does not appear to be honored when
dividing by a negative
Reproduce code:
---------------
1/-2*5
Expected result:
----------------
-2.5
Actual result:
--------------
-.1
Should all these three examples give the same result?
$ php -r 'var_dump(-1/2*5, 1/-2*5, 1/2*-5);'
float(-2.5)
float(-0.1)
float(-2.5)
According to my memory of Please My Dear Aunt Sally these should be:
-1/2*5 = -.1
1/-2*5 = -.1
1/2*-5 = -.1
So, that is bad if PHP answers that way. Someone please correct me if
my memory is wrong. Is there some rule that negative values should be
done first before positive values?
